Altus 2.0 Silent Hunting Suit for Men vs Huntworth Men's Fairbanks Jacket
Buy the Altus 2.0 suit if you hunt whitetail from a blind or stand in cold, quiet conditions and want a matched jacket-and-pants set with scent control. Buy the Huntworth Fairbanks jacket if you already own hunting pants and want a heavyweight waterproof shell that runs big for layering. The Altus is a full suit; the Fairbanks is a jacket only, so compare them on coverage, not just price.

Questions and answers
- Which is better for cold-weather whitetail hunting?
- The Altus suit covers more of your body and adds scent control, so it suits long cold sits. The Fairbanks is a warm jacket, but you supply your own pants.
- Which is quieter in close range?
- The Altus, on paper. Its napped SoftMute shell is built to cut fabric noise. The Fairbanks lists no quiet-face fabric.
- Is the Huntworth Fairbanks worth it if I already have pants?
- Yes, if you want a heavyweight waterproof jacket with a removable hood. It runs big, so check the size chart before ordering.
- Does the Altus suit come in separate jacket and pants sizes?
- No. The jacket and pants are sold in matching sizes, which is a common complaint from buyers whose top and bottom sizes differ.
- Which has better rain protection?
- The Altus lists more detail: C0 DWR, a PU membrane, fully taped seams and waterproof YKK zippers. The Fairbanks states waterproof and windproof but gives less construction detail.
- Which has more sizing room for layering?
- The Fairbanks runs big and goes up to 4XL. The Altus runs small for some buyers when layering underneath.
